The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.~Mark Zuckerberg

How times have changed! I still remember my parents cautioning me against taking risks — or at least that is what I read between the lines of their words! (Of course, that was a very long time ago!!)

I am sure Mark took a very big risk when he developed the Facebook interface. So many of our modern ‘conveniences’ were created by innovative people who took risks to follow their ideas and dreams.

So how does this apply to your business?

Are you ready or willing to take a risk to move forward in your business, whether it is to develop a new product, hire a new employee or independent contractor, go to the trade show you have been dreaming about …. it all involves taking a risk.
